Clay Sun Union. CSU started out jamming together in Okinawa, Japan
back in the 1990s. The original members were Mike Belley, Jon Schleismann, Jage
Nichols, Jeromy Swafford, and Mike Wadkins, all of whom were in the United States Air
Force. Influenced by bands such as Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Metallica, Todd the Wet
Sprocket, Pink Floyd, and Rush, they brought a rich and diverse rock sound to the
grateful ears of people all across the island. They eventually made a CD titled
‘Distance’ in 2002. Plagued by personal conflicts, the band unfortunately broke up
within the month of its release. The band may have disbanded, but their music
shall forever live on in our hearts and minds, as well as on this website. Enjoy!
